It's like, with every day, I'm less convinced about the general feasibility of streaming. First, if you want high res, you need an uncapped high-speed connection, then you have to subscribe, then you have to buy the game, then you can actually play. As long as you keep your subscription.
Thank you, i dont remember the other comments - i seemed to focus on his since it's more out there and he comments more frequently.
From its base the business is flawed. The hardware people dont buy has to be freely settled and mantained in huge datacenters. Go figure who will pay the 499 dollars a next gen console will cost in an only streaming service.
They want to be established in cloud gaming by the time it become viable. They want the headstart. Though what google has done will probably hurt them in the short term more than help them.
If that ever comes. But I'm doubtful. Still, the pricing and the business model is where it falls or wins. Unless it's Netflix, but with games, I don't see it being a better value proposition than local hw gaming.
Streaming is perfectly fine,as we know by now,for "non interactive" entertainment-Netflix/Disney+/HBO Go/zillion other tv services/etc.
you are still not makingmuch sense. You said CUs is what matters, but if both have the same amount of CUs, the one with the high clocks will have the more powerful console.
Less. The point was to show how much more efficient X is.
The last time I saw Panello posting here he was throwing shade towards Mark Cerny, implying that he lied and misled the public about PS5 raytracing capabilities - which it will not have. Only the MS console will have real hardware raytracing, and he should know! I guess to some people that might be considered "praise"?
Yeah I remember there was a tweet where a developer commented on how good the PS4's is.
It sounds like Sony is a dev kit revision or two ahead and is overall just further along in the process at the moment.
Albert Penello doesnt say anything of that sort? I just skimmed through his post history.
Mr Penello what do you think about potential pricing strategy for next gen ($399-$499) ?
higher clocks disproportionately increase TDP. its why console makers have gone wider and slower with the mid gen refreshes and the base console. it might change next gen if they are already including an expensive cooler in the console. so a smaller chip might be cheaper and more viable if they can clock it at 2.0 ghz. that would be your 36 CU GPU at 9.2 tflops.
No problem,i understand. Btw, i fully agree with you,i also think Sony will go with $399 price again.And thanks!
No shade detected. I remember the discussion.That's a pretty serious mischaracterization so let's be clear.
What I said was, Cerny was not specific in how he described Ray Tracing support for PS5. I claimed, multiple times, that I thought they had HW ray tracing but it was notable that he was not specific. And until he actually said it himself, I was going to consider it a rumor. That's all I said. No shade, no implication of lying.
In fact, it the follow-up interview Cerny himself agreed he wasn't clear.
Exclusive: A Deeper Look at the PlayStation 5
Now that the name is official, we've got more details about Sony's next-gen console—from the haptics-packed controller to UI improvements.www.wired.com
"Before they do, Cerny wants to clarify something. When we last discussed the forthcoming console, he spoke about its ability to support ray-tracing, a technique that can enable complex lighting and sound effects in 3D environments. Given the many questions he's received since, he fears he may have been ambiguous about how the PS5 would accomplish this—and confirms that it's not a software-level fix, which some had feared. "There is ray-tracing acceleration in the GPU hardware," he says, "which I believe is the statement that people were looking for." (A belief born out by my own Twitter mentions, which for a couple of weeks in April made a graphics-rendering technique seem like the only thing the internet had ever cared about.)"
Yeah,i think they will try to cut costs next gen with smaller amount of overall RAM (16GB) and smaller internal SSD (~512GB or so) in order to achieve $399 price.
Exactly! 9 rdna tflops double xbox one x gpu performance that is more than enough. The cpu and the ssd will be the game changer.
